This is the best I can do to make sense of this information after using a different Italian translator along with my so far limited understanding of Italian (Italian first then each paragraph in English):

presenting a typical form of EB pruriginosa are described. The prevalence of papular itchy lichenoid lesions, signs of scratching and paucity of blisters at the time of clinical

Prima diagnosi ufficiale di Morgellons in Italia
[ Scie Chimiche :: Manipolazioni ] by Edoardo Capuano @ 23.06.2009 10:14 CEST

"Scie Chimiche" is Chemtrails in English

Pubblichiamo il referto di uno specialista dermatologo, direttore di dermatologia clinica in un'importante struttura romana che, dopo aver a lungo seguito una paziente, le ha diagnosticato il Morgellons. In primo luogo ringraziamo la persona che, consapevole di come sia importante l'informazione nell'ambito di questa malattia ufficialmente non ancora rriconosciuta come tale nel nostro paese, ha deciso di inviarci copia del referto. Tale importante referto dimostra non solo la reale esistenza della grave patologia, negata, lo ricordiamo, dal C.I.C.A.P. e dai suoi seguaci, ma anche la presenza accertata di casi in Italia oltre che la conoscenza di tale inquietante realtà per opera della classe medica in Italia. Bisogna chiedersi per quale motivo chi sa non parla.

(An article can be read here about what C.I.C.A.P. is in Italy, basically an organization which is skeptical about paranormal events: Massimo Polidoro: Italy's Version of Harry Houdini (Generation sXeptic))

EDT published the report of a dermatological specialist, director of dermatology clinic in a major Roman structure which, after a long follow through - a patient was diagnosed with Morgellons. Firstly, thanks to the person who, aware of how important the information on this disease not yet officially recognized as such in our country, decided to send a copy of the report. This important report shows not only the existence of serious disease, not accepted, remember, by the CICAP and its followers, but also the presence of cases found in Italy as well as knowledge of the troubling reality for the work of doctors in Italy. We must ask for what reason it cannot be spoken about.

Ricordiamo poi che è fondamentale coinvolgere la classe medica in un'opera di ricerca sul Morgellons, la patologia causata dai polimeri contenuti nelle scie chimiche, come acclarato da insigni medici statunitensi. E' urgente, infatti, individuare delle possibili terapie per lenire le sofferenze causate da una malattia tanto invalidante. Certo, i soliti cialtroni continueranno ad affermare che il Morgellons è un'invenzione di visionari. Siamo curiosi di vedere fino a quando potranno scrivere e ripetere le loro idiozie.

Recall (remember) that it is necessary to include all medical knowledge in research work about Morgellons, a disease caused by the polymer content in chem trails, as ascertained by leading U.S. doctors (huh???). It is urgent in fact, to identify possible treatments to alleviate the suffering caused by such a debilitating disease. Of course, the usual cialtroni (cannot find translation, maybe naysayers???--note, just learned this is the plural of the word cialtrone, which in Italian means good-for-nothing or wastrel) continue to say that Morgellons is an invention of visionaries (those who believe in the paranormal). We are curious to see how (when) their idiocy may be written and repeated.

Di seguito la trascrizione del referto medico:

"Si certifica che la paziente è affetta da dermatite papulopruriginosa caratterizzata da aspetti teromorfici. Sulla base dei dati clinici e degli accertamenti eseguiti in vitro ed ex vivo (villocapilloscopia) è ipotizzabile una sindrome di Morgellons".

Here's the transcript of the medical report: "This is to certify that the patient is suffering from dermatitis papulopruriginosa characterized by aspects teromorfici. On the basis of clinical data and investigations carried out in vitro and ex vivo (villocapilloscopia) is a possible Morgellons syndrome".

This is just the first part of the article I could find about a skin disease which contains the word pruriginosa. I am not sure this is the exact illness they are talking about in Italian. I cannot find a translation for "teromorfici" either. This article has pictures.

ISPUB - Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa: Report Of A Rare Case

Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa prurugenosa is an extremely rare variant of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in which combination of intense pruritus and skin fragility lead to hypertrophic, lichenified nodules and plaques and show scarring, milia and nail dystrophy. Histologically, features of hyperkeratosis, acanthosis and minimal blistering at dermal-epidermal-sublamina level are characteristic. Most cases are inherited as autosomal recessive, dominant or sporadic. Its onset is often late, the clinical course is unpredictable and various factors leading to intense pruritus remain speculative. Diagnosis is from characteristic clinicopathologic features. The defect in anchoring fibrils has been attributed to mutations in COL7A1 gene mapped to 3p21.3 locus but glycine substitution within triple helical collagen domain of type VII molecule may not be exclusive to this variant. There is no satisfactory treatment and it is not known whether treatment of pruritus would prevent development of other manifestations of the disorder. Genetic counseling, future clinical surveillance and prenatal diagnosis perhaps remain useful. This paper describes a case of this rare disorder revisiting its various aspects.

MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Milia

"Definition of Milia as used in the above abstract: Milia are tiny white bumps or small cysts on the skin.
Causes
Milia occur when dead skin becomes trapped in small pockets at the surface of the skin or mouth. They are common in newborn infants and appear as pearly white bumps, most commonly across the upper cheeks, nose, and chin. Milia generally disappear after the first several weeks of life.
Similar cysts are seen in the mouths of newborn infants. In this case, they are called Epstein's pearls. These cysts also go away on their own.
Adults may develop milia on the face. The bumps and cysts also occur on parts of the body that are inflammed or injured. Irritation of the skin by rough sheets or clothing may cause mild reddening around the bump, but the central portion remains white.
Irritated milia are sometimes incorrectly referred to as "baby acne" (although it is not actually a form of acne)."

Résumé / Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) pruriginosa is a rare clinical subset of dystrophic EB, characterized by marked itching and presence of prurigo-like or lichenoid features. In order to further delineate the phenotype and understand the pathogenesis of this disorder, the clinical, histological and ultrastructural findings of a 19-year-old patient order to further delineate the phenotype and understand the pathogenesis of this disorder, the clinical, histological and ultrastructural findings of a 19-year-old patient tion may result in incorrect diagnosis and treatment. Microscopic studies of the lesions show the typical findings of dystrophic EB associated with an unusually high density of collagen bundles and absence of elastic fibres in the upper dermis. Itching lichenoid lesions of EB pruriginosa could represent an abnormal dermal reactivity of some patients to their inherited bullous disorder.
